Call for Help episodes for sale on Google Video

Call for Help is a technology show. It was very popular in the USA back when TechTV broadcast the show live from San Francisco.

Then, TechTV was sold to the Game Network. One of the first actions of the new G4/TechTV was to cancel Call for Help.

The show lives on in Canada and Australia. It came back to the USA for 60 episodes in 2005, but with a horrible 9AM weekday airtime, it was soon taken off the air in the USA.

The folks at Rogers Media in Canada keep getting calls from people who want the show back in the USA.

If you need to get your CFH fix, check out the episodes at this link.
